When it comes to celebrity divorces, most of them are announced during times when the celebrities think (and hope) there are fewer people paying attention. At least that’s what a former Hollywood publicist, tabloid editor and host of VH1’s “Gossip Table” had to say. For example, the theory is that there won’t be as many people paying attention to what is transpiring on Fridays as there are on Mondays.

The divorce rate for parents of disabled children is higher than that of the rest of the country. Some researchers put the divorce rate of kids with autism as high as 85 percent. Most of these children have a more difficult time with divorce than children who are considered healthy.

In the last post, our blog started discussing how more and more betrothed couples are making the decision to execute prenuptial agreements, which we described as legally binding documents setting forth what each side can expect to receive — or not receive — in the event of a divorce.

It doesn’t matter if you are the spouse who makes the decision to file for divorce or the spouse who is on the receiving end of the divorce papers, you will more than likely find yourself experiencing a wide range of emotions from relief, happiness and hope to sadness, anger and anxiety in the immediate aftermath of these definitive actions.

While we tend to think of divorce as being the exclusive domain of younger people who may have decided to tie the knot too soon or middle age people who are no longer happy being married, this is perhaps too narrow of a view.

It would be incorrect and perhaps even a bit disingenuous to say that the initial decision to end your marriage will be entirely stress free. Indeed, the reality is that while you will more than likely come to appreciate the opportunity to start anew once your divorce is finalized, the process of getting there can often prove to be nerve-wracking.

It would be something of a misstatement to say that a divorce will proceed exactly how a person envisions or that it will somehow be entirely free of surprises. Indeed, while a spouse might enter divorce proceedings expecting a lengthy and bitter legal battle, they may actually find themselves sitting across a table from their soon-to-be ex thanks to court-ordered mediation.

Last time, our blog started discussing how many divorcing couples may find themselves sitting not across a courtroom aisle from one another, but rather across a table from one another thanks to court-ordered mediation.

For the last few weeks, our blog has spent some time examining the divorce mediation process here in Florida, outlining how it works and the divorce-related issues that it can help separating couples resolve.
